In connection with the 5th NOW Conference in Vienna the City Councillor Jürgen Czernohorszky and Act.Now organised a field exposure for the NOW Working Group of mayors and their accompanying experts to initiatives and projects of the City of Vienna.

Act.Now and Ferdinand Sarnitz launch the new series “Mensch”. In interviews with outstanding people from various backgrounds and continents he asks a set of 16 questions in an effort to find out who they are, how they think, and what drives them to do what they do.

What is the NOW Map?

The NOW Map is a database of actors in the broad field of social cohesion with a regional focus on Europe and the MENAT region (Middle East, North Africa, Turkey). It visualises existing projects (incl. programmes, initiatives), organisations, networks, and individual people, thus demonstrating who is active in the field of social cohesion, and what is being done.

The main sub-topics are Social Cohesion, Migration, Children’s Rights, Education, Exploitation, Gender Equality and Trauma and Resilience. The aim of the NOW Map is to become a tool for research, knowledge transfer, and networking. It wants to encourage committed individuals, experts, and initiatives to connect, to think transnationally, to exchange ideas, and to jointly develop new solutions.
